Summary: Basically, Great!
Comment: I purchased this cd out of curiousity. I had heard a couple of her songs on the radio. I was looking for something different, ya know. When I listened to this cd, I mean, I was blown away. If you don't have it, go out and buy it. It's truly spectacular. I love it! I love just about all the songs. It's like one of those cds where you can listen to all the songs and really enjoy them. Basically, buy it!

Summary: Talented Chick!
Comment: Chrisette's CD is like getting 5 or 6 in one. She handles the jazzy/blues vibe, slight folk influence, the straight R&B, and the hip-hoppish raw soul flavors beautifully. She has such range and various tones to her voice where it sounds like someone else is singing on each track! A couple are a bit to sappy for me, but overall it's a solid start. Very nice freshman CD, and I'll be on the lookout for her next release!

Summary: I slept on her but I am now awake, fully
Comment: This CD is WONDERFUL! I have listened to it for two months straight. Its addictive. This woman can sing and her lyrics are impeccable. Im tired of listening to the CD but cant seem to take it out of the player. Every time I attempt I feel as though something's missing from the day. I can't wait till her next CD comes out. Buy it. If you KNOW music then you will know this woman has potential to raise the bar. Vocally the Ashanti's and Beyonce's of the have NOTHING on this chic. This instantly became one of the best debut CD's IMO in a LOOOONNNGGG time. Treat yourself dont cheat yourself. Buy this CD!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Pure Joy
Comment: This is one of the most joyful cds I have heard in a long time. Even when she is singing sad songs she can't help inserting joy into her songs. Another album that is not about the bump and grind. More young women should sing like this. This album has some very diverse elements in it and she has a lovely way of singing each song just right.

If you didn't get to know Chrisette Michele by way of Jay-Z (she was the one singing sparkling hooks on "Lost Ones") or Nas (she channeled Billie Holiday on "Can't Forget About You"), stop wasting valuable seconds. Though the hype on this pure-voiced, raunch-resistant songstress has her resuscitating a classic jazz sound that rarely infiltrates R&B--comparisons to Lady Day, Nina Simone, and Ella Fitzgerald are mounting--she's more her generation's answer to Erykah Badu: any notes she wraps her lips around come out fresh-sounding, and she adds to the effect with a built-in elegance that's irresistible to R&B and non-R&B fans alike. Hip-hoppers get a custom dose of Michele's magic on "Be O.K.," featuring the flabbergastingly prolific yet still likable Will.i.am, jazz sentimentalists will instantly succumb to "Like a Dream," and anybody with ears on his or her head will warm to the slinky slow jam that is "If I Have My Way." Michele's is a rare talent; count on this outstanding debut propelling her to stratospheric heights. --Tammy La Gorce
